StandupBot MCP

"What did I even do yesterday?" — solved.

StandupBot is a free Model Context Protocol server that connects Claude to your GitHub activity. Ask Claude for your standup and it pulls the last 24h of commits, PRs, reviews, and issues — formatted and ready to paste into Slack.

Tools

Quick Start

1. Get a GitHub token

Go to GitHub → Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Tokens (classic).

Create a token with these scopes:

• repo (to see private repos)
• read:user

2. Add to Claude Code

Add this to your Claude Code config (~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json for Claude Desktop, or .claude/settings.json for Claude Code CLI):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "standupbot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "standupbot-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "ghp_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Ask Claude

Give me my standup for the last 24 hours. My GitHub username is alice.

Generate a team standup for usernames: alice, bob, carol

What's been happening in the facebook/react repo today?

Environment Variables

You can set GITHUB_TOKEN as an env var in your MCP config and omit it from tool calls:

"env": { "GITHUB_TOKEN": "ghp_..." }

The tool will fall back to the env var automatically if no token is passed.

Privacy

• Your token is stored only in your local config file.
• StandupBot makes direct HTTPS calls to api.github.com — no proxy, no telemetry, no servers.
• 100% open source. MIT license.
